3 FOREWORD Welcome to The EUPON Meeting 2018 Update on Optic Nerve Degeneration: a European Network The third annual EUPON meeting will be held on Apr 14 15th 2018 in Düsseldorf. EUPON is a unique interdisciplinary scientific meeting focusing on diseases of the optic nerve and retina from both an ophthalmologic and a neurologic perspective. This year s meeting covers nine main topics which will be covered from the preclinical, diagnostic and therapeutic point of view: Optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis spectrum disorders, preclinical retinal imaging of mice and rats, hereditary optic neuropathies, glaucoma, retinal diseases affecting the optic nerve, standardization of retinal imaging (quality control criteria and reporting guidelines), anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, and pseudotumor cerebri syndrome. We have tried to put a special focus on including not only cutting edge lectures on the clinical state of the art but also integrating the relevant translational aspects of basic science research in the field. We hope to see you in Düsseldorf for EUPON 2018 and are looking forward to exciting scientific talks and interdisciplinary discussions with you. Kind regards, Philipp Albrecht, Wolf Lagrèze, Rainer Guthoff and Orhan Aktas
